Microsoft Dynamics GP Support in Canada
Thousands of teams still rely on Microsoft Dynamics GP for finance and operations. We help you keep GP stable, upgrade safely, and decide if and when to move to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Microsoft will end GP product support and updates on December 31, 2029, with security updates available through April 30, 2031. New customers can’t buy GP perpetual licenses after April 1, 2025, and can’t buy new GP subscriptions after April 1, 2026. If you’re staying on GP for now, we’ll maintain it and improve daily work. If you’re planning to migrate, we’ll build a step-by-step plan.
